Few people can say they’ve made it to the Olympics, let alone win gold and change the way their sport is played forever. This week’s episode we hear from Dick Fosbury, 1968 High Jump Gold Medalist and creator of the signature move the “Fosbury Flop.”

​Listen in to hear how he overcame challenges to become one of the most influential athletes in track and field history and how he landed in Sun Valley, Idaho.
